Connecting "Workgroup" W10 PC' s to WSE 2016

-

i downloaded new wse 2016 on clean (ssd) server nothing on it.  whole thing want amazingly easy , fast.  have being using whs 2011. similarities between 2 give me great comfort!

i have 1 problem however, don’t see written newbie.

all w10 pcs connected “workgroup” (whose name “workgroup”)  for old whs.  accessing them whs simple – click on network icon in whs file explorer. 

with wse  2016, can see wd10 pc’s , icons in wse file explorer. when click example, on icon asks “credentials connect to:- johnscomputer”.

a popup asks password vitasoft\john

when set wse named domain “vitasoft”. 

the password on wd10 pc not work.  have change w10 system properties “workgroup” “member of domain”

the problem have when type in vitasoft domain on wd10 pc comes back.

“the specified domain not exist or not reached”

it not take “vitasoft.local” either.

what trick?
